They will be assured that I, the Lord their God, am with them.  – Ezek 34:30

Reflection.  He was born in an obscure village the child of a peasant woman … He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty.  For three years He was an itinerant preacher.  He never wrote a book.  He never held an office.  He was nailed to the Cross between two thieves … When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.  More than twenty centuries have come and gone, and today He is still the central figure of the human race.

Prayer.  Dear Jesus, I bow before You as my Lord and my God.
